COPA plan upload - Product cost components valuation

[Former Member]

Hi,

When CO-PA plan data is uploaded (using KE13N), relevant product cost component details are not getting derived/valuated in CO-PA plan document. Whereas, if I do a manual simulation of valuation either using KEPM (planning framework) or using KE21S (Valuation simulation), the values are getting derived and relevant value fields are getting populated with cost component details.

Even I've automatic valuation check set to active in parameter set definition.

Is this the way system behaves?

I expected that product component details get derived automatically when I post a plan document. Is there anything I might be missing in terms configuration or....? If I've to run valuation method separately to valuate with product cost components that creates another document for valuation, which I don't want.

Thanks in advance.

@ Eric, Thanks for your reply. I've already tried the options which you mentioned.

Check your valuation strategy - make sure that you've got entries for both point of valuation 03 and 04 (manual and automatic planning).

In the definition of the parameter set (in KEPM) in which you defined your upload layout/generic file name, make sure "Automatic valuation" is checked. If you want to use the valuation strategy from config, select "valuation strategy using valuation customizing". If you want to specify a different strategy, select "Valuation strategy" and enter it in text box provided.
